2 Kings 18
1 In the third year of Hoshea, the son of Elah, the king of Israel: Hezekiah, the son of Ahaz, reigned as king of Judah.
Pripetilo se je torej v tretjem letu Hošéa, Elájevega sina, Izraelovega kralja, da je začel kraljevati Ezekíja, Aházov sin, Judov kralj.
2 He was twenty-five years old when he had begun to reign, and he reigned for twenty-nine years in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Abi, the daughter of Zechariah.
Petindvajset let je bil star, ko je začel kraljevati in v Jeruzalemu je kraljeval devetindvajset let. Ime njegove matere je bilo Abí, Zaharijeva hči.
3 And he did what was good before the Lord, in accord with all that his father David had done.
Delal je to, kar je bilo pravilno v Gospodovih očeh, glede na vse, kar je storil njegov oče David.
4 He destroyed the high places, and he crushed the statues, and he cut down the sacred groves. And he broke apart the bronze serpent, which Moses had made. For even until that time, the sons of Israel were burning incense to it. And he called its name Nehushtan.
Odstranil je visoke kraje, zlomil podobe, posekal ašere in na koščke zdrobil bronasto kačo, ki jo je naredil Mojzes, kajti v tistih dneh so ji Izraelovi otroci zažigali kadilo in jo imenoval Nehuštán.
5 He hoped in the Lord, the God of Israel. And after him, there was no one similar to him, among all the kings of Judah, nor even among any of those who were before him.
Zaupal je v Gospoda, Izraelovega Boga, tako da za njim ni bilo nikogar podobnega njemu med vsemi Judovimi kralji niti nikogar, ki bi bil pred njim.
6 And he clung to the Lord, and he did not withdraw from his footsteps, and he carried out his commandments, which the Lord had instructed to Moses.
Kajti pridružil se je h Gospodu in se ni oddvojil od sledenju njemu, temveč se je držal njegovih zapovedi, ki jih je Gospod zapovedal Mojzesu.
7 Therefore, the Lord was also with him. And he conducted himself wisely in all the things to which he went forth. Also, he rebelled against the king of the Assyrians, and he did not serve him.
Gospod je bil z njim in uspeval je kamorkoli je odšel in uprl se je zoper asirskega kralja in mu ni služil.
8 He struck the Philistines as far as Gaza, and in all their borders, from the tower of the watchmen to the fortified city.
Udaril je Filistejce, celó do Gaze in njenih meja, od stražarskega stolpa, do utrjenega mesta.
9 In the fourth year of king Hezekiah, which was the seventh year of Hoshea, the son of Elah, the king of Israel: Shalmaneser, the king of the Assyrians, ascended to Samaria, and he fought against it,
Pripetilo se je v četrtem letu kralja Ezekíja, kar je bilo sedmo leto Hošéa, Elájevega sina, Izraelovega kralja, da je asirski kralj Salmanasar prišel gor zoper Samarijo in jo oblegal.
10 and he seized it. For after three years, in the sixth year of Hezekiah, that is, in the ninth year of Hoshea, the king of Israel, Samaria was captured.
Ob koncu treh let so jo zavzeli, torej v šestem letu Ezekíja, to je v devetem letu Izraelovega kralja Hošéa je bila Samarija zavzeta.
11 And the king of the Assyrians took away Israel into Assyria. And he located them in Halah and in Habor, at the rivers of Gozan, in the cities of the Medes.
Asirski kralj je Izraela odvedel v Asirijo in jih naselil v Haláhu in Habórju, pri reki Gozán in v mestih Medijcev,
12 For they did not listen to the voice of the Lord, their God. Instead, they transgressed his covenant. All that Moses, the servant of the Lord, had instructed, they would neither hear, nor do.
ker niso ubogali glasu Gospoda, svojega Boga, temveč so prestopili njegovo zavezo in vse, kar je zapovedal Gospodov služabnik Mojzes, pa jih niso hoteli slišati niti jih izpolnjevati.
13 In the fourteenth year of king Hezekiah, Sennacherib, the king of the Assyrians, went up to all the fortified cities of Judah, and he captured them.
Torej v štirinajstem letu kralja Ezekíja je asirski kralj Senaherib prišel gor zoper vsa utrjena Judova mesta in jih zavzel.
14 Then Hezekiah, the king of Judah, sent messengers to the king of the Assyrians at Lachish, saying: “I have offended. Withdraw from me, and all that you will impose upon me, I will bear.” And so the king of the Assyrians levied a tax upon Hezekiah, the king of Judah, of three hundred talents of silver and thirty talents of gold.
Judov kralj Ezekíja je poslal k asirskemu kralju v Lahíš, rekoč: »Grešil sem, obrni se od mene. To, kar polagaš name, bom nosil.« Asirski kralj je Judovemu kralju Ezekíju določil tristo talentov srebra in trideset talentov zlata.
15 And Hezekiah gave all the silver that had been found in the house of the Lord, and in the treasuries of the king.
Ezekíja mu je dal vse srebro, ki je bilo najdeno v Gospodovi hiši in v zakladnicah kraljeve hiše.
16 At that time, Hezekiah broke apart the doors of the temple of the Lord, with the plates of gold which he had affixed to them. And he gave these to the king of the Assyrians.
Ob tistem času je Ezekíja odluščil zlato iz vrat Gospodovega templja in iz stebrov, ki jih je prevlekel Judov kralj Ezekíja in to dal kralju Asirije.
17 Then the king of the Assyrians sent Tartan, and Rabsaris, and Rabshakeh, from Lachish, to king Hezekiah, with a powerful hand, to Jerusalem. And when they had ascended, they arrived in Jerusalem, and they stood beside the aqueduct of the upper pool, which is along the way of the fuller’s field.
Kralj Asirije je iz Lahíša poslal Tartana, Rabsarísa in Rabšakéja h kralju Ezekíju z veliko vojsko zoper Jeruzalem. Odšli so gor in prišli k Jeruzalemu. In ko so prišli gor, so prišli in obstali pri cevi gornjega ribnika, ki je na glavni cesti pralčevega polja.
18 And they called for the king. But there went out to them Eliakim, the son of Hilkiah, the first ruler of the house, and Shebnah, the scribe, and Joah, the son of Asaph, the keeper of records.
Ko so zaklicali h kralju, je ven k njim prišel Hilkijájev sin Eljakím, ki je bil nad družino, pisar Šebná in Asáfov sin Joáh, letopisec.
19 And Rabshakeh said to them: “Speak to Hezekiah: Thus says the great king, the king of the Assyrians: What is this faith, in which you strive?
Rabšaké jim je rekel: »Govorite torej Ezekíju: ›Tako govori veliki kralj, kralj Asirije: ›Kakšno zaupanje je to, v katero zaupaš?
20 Perhaps, you have taken counsel, so that you would prepare yourself for battle. In whom do you trust, so that you would dare to rebel?
Ti praviš (toda to so samo prazne besede): › Imam nasvet in moč za vojno. Komu odslej zaupaš, da si se uprl zoper mene?
21 Do you hope in Egypt, that staff of a broken reed, which, if a man would lean upon it, breaking, it would pierce his hand? Such is Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, to all who would trust in him.
Torej glej, ti zaupaš v palico iz poškodovanega trsta, v Egipt, na katerega, če se človek nasloni, se bo ta zadrl v njegovo roko in jo prebodel. Tako je faraon, egiptovski kralj, vsem tem, ki zaupajo vanj.
22 But if you say to me: ‘We have faith in the Lord, our God.’ Is it not he, whose high places and altars Hezekiah has taken away? And did he not instruct Judah and Jerusalem: ‘You shall adore before this altar in Jerusalem?’
Toda če mi rečete: ›Zaupamo v Gospoda, svojega Boga, ‹ mar ni to on, katerega visoke kraje in katerega oltarje je Ezekíja odstranil ter rekel Judu in Jeruzalemu: ›Pred tem oltarjem boste oboževali v Jeruzalemu.‹
23 Now therefore, cross over to my lord, the king of the Assyrians, and I will give to you two thousand horses, and we will see if you even have enough riders for them.
Zdaj torej, prosim te, daj jamstva mojemu gospodu, asirskemu kralju, jaz pa ti bom izročil dva tisoč konjev, če boš na svoji strani zmožen nanje postaviti jezdece.
24 So how can you resist one prince from the least of my lord’s servants? Do you have faith in Egypt because of the chariots and horsemen?
Kako potem hočeš odvrniti obraz enega poveljnika izmed najmanjših služabnikov mojega gospodarja in svoje zaupanje položiti v Egipt zaradi bojnih vozov in konjenikov?
25 Is it not by the will of the Lord that I have chosen to ascend to this place, so that I may destroy it? The Lord said to me: ‘Ascend to this land, and destroy it.’”
Sem mar brez Gospoda prišel gor zoper ta kraj, da ga uničim? Gospod mi je rekel: ›Pojdi gor zoper to deželo in jo uniči.‹«
26 Then Eliakim, the son of Hilkiah, and Shebnah, and Joah, said to Rabshakeh: “We beseech you, that you may speak to us, your servants, in Syriac. For we understand that language to some extent. And do not speak to us in the Jews’ language, in the hearing of the people, who are upon the wall.”
Potem so Hilkijájev sin Eljakím, Šebná in Joáh rekli Rabšakéju: »Govori, prosimo te, tvojim služabnikom v sirskem jeziku, kajti mi ga razumemo in ne govori z nami v judovskem jeziku v ušesa ljudstva, ki so na obzidju.«
27 And Rabshakeh responded to them, saying: “Has my lord sent me to your lord and to you, so that I may speak these words, and not instead to the men who are sitting upon the wall, so that they may eat their own dung, and drink their own urine with you?”
Toda Rabšaké jim je rekel: »Ali me ni moj gospodar poslal k tvojemu gospodarju in k tebi, da govorim te besede? Ali me ni poslal k možem, ki sedijo na obzidju, da bodo lahko s teboj jedli svoj iztrebek in pili svoj seč?«
28 And so, Rabshakeh stood up, and he exclaimed in a great voice, in the Jews’ language, and he said: “Listen to the words of the great king, the king of the Assyrians.
Potem je Rabšaké vstal, z močnim glasom zaklical v hebrejskem jeziku in spregovoril, rekoč: »Poslušajte besedo velikega kralja, kralja Asirije,
29 Thus says the king: Let not Hezekiah lead you astray. For he will not be able to rescue you from my hand.
tako govori kralj: ›Ne dopustite, da vas Ezekíja zavede, kajti ne bo sposoben, da vas osvobodi iz njegove roke,
30 And do not let him give you faith in the Lord, saying: ‘The Lord will rescue and free us, and this city will not be delivered into the hand of the king of the Assyrians.’
niti naj vam Ezekíja ne da zaupati v Gospoda, rekoč: › Gospod nas bo zagotovo osvobodil in to mesto ne bo izročeno v roko asirskega kralja.‹
31 Do not choose to listen to Hezekiah. For thus says the king of the Assyrians: Do with me what is for your own good, and come out to me. And each one of you will eat from his own vine, and from his own fig tree. And you shall drink water from your own wells,
Ne prisluhnite Ezekíju, kajti tako govori kralj Asirije: ›Sklenite dogovor z menoj z darilom in pridite ven k meni in potem jejte vsak mož od svoje lastne trte in vsak mož od svojega figovega drevesa in vsak naj pije vodo iz svojega vodnega zbiralnika,
32 until I arrive and transfer you into a land, similar to your own land, a fruitful and fertile land of wine, a land of bread and vineyards, a land of olives and oil and honey. And you will live, and not die. Do not choose to listen to Hezekiah, who deceives you, saying: ‘The Lord will free us.’
dokler ne pridem in vas vzamem proč v deželo, podobno vaši lastni deželi, deželo žita in vina, deželo kruha in vinogradov, deželo olivnega olja in medu, da boste lahko živeli in ne umrli in ne prisluhnite Ezekíju, ko vas pregovarja, rekoč: › Gospod nas bo osvobodil.‹
33 Have any of the gods of the nations freed their land from the hand of the king of Assyria?
Mar so katerikoli izmed bogov narodov mogli svojo deželo rešiti iz roke asirskega kralja?
34 Where is the god of Hamath, and of Arpad? Where is the god of Sepharvaim, of Hena, and of Avva? Have they freed Samaria from my hand?
Kje so bogovi Hamáta in Arpáda? Kje so bogovi Sefarvájima, Hene in Avája? Mar so Samarijo osvobodili iz moje roke?
35 Which ones among all the gods of the lands have rescued their region from my hand, so that the Lord would be able to rescue Jerusalem from my hand?”
Kdo so tisti izmed vseh bogov dežel, ki so svojo deželo rešili iz moje roke, da bi Gospod rešil Jeruzalem iz moje roke?‹«
36 But the people were silent, and they did not respond at all to him. For indeed, they had received an instruction from the king that they should not respond to him.
Toda ljudstvo je molčalo in mu ni odgovorilo [niti] besede, kajti kraljeva zapoved je bila, rekoč: »Ne odgovarjajte mu.«
37 And Eliakim, the son of Hilkiah, the first ruler of the house, and Shebnah, the scribe, and Joah, the son of Asaph, the keeper of records, went to Hezekiah with their garments torn. And they reported to him the words of Rabshakeh.
Potem so prišli Hilkijájev sin Eljakím, ki je bil nad družino, pisar Šebná in Asáfov sin Joáh, letopisec, k Ezekíju s svojimi pretrganimi oblačili in mu povedali Rabšakéjeve besede.
